Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

1. Introduction

The Road Sector Development Program created conducive opportunity for the local
construction industry, i.e. Contractors, Consultants and professionals. During the RSDPs
implementation, ERA has set up various programs and procedures so as to enhance the
capacity of the local construction industry with number and capacity with a target of building
the local capacity in all respects.

One of the major task is the development program is enhancing the capacity and number of
local senior professionals to the required level since the professional service were delivered
by foreign exporters in the resent past years. The sector necessitates strong support and
development program to attain the required number and qualified professional to meet the
demand of the sector. However, unless a career development plan is put in place, enhancing
the number of professionals with number and quality could not be achieved rather, it allows
only limited professionals to be engaged on most of ERA projects and further leads to
dependency on overseas experts.

Therefore, this guideline is developed to manage Engagement and Succession Plan of


Professionals on Consultancy Services Projects. The guideline basically focused on design
and supervision of Road projects and Works Contract. However, other consultancy
service like technical assistance and services with unique characteristics could be consider as
exception and the staff engagement will be decided based on the nature of the projects.

2. Objective

The main objective of this guideline is:

 Prepare standardized requirement of project staffs depending on the nature of the projects
 To build up a system of succession plan for development of professional from lower to
the higher position or from one key position to the other with smooth career transition
 Creation of job opportunity for young professionals
 Identify and propose staff combinations on consultancy service contracts

Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

 Develop a standard evaluation criteria frameworks for professionals those could be


applicable on ERA design and supervision of Road projects and works contract
 To define the tasks and responsibilities of each professionals on their assignment
 To develop standard workload management of professionals

3. Project Staff Requirements

A road project requires at least Technical, Managerial, Safety, Environmental and Social
experts with support staffs under the design and supervision crews and construction works.
The following are the minimum major lists of experts required in the current ERA design and
supervision of road projects and construction works to be proposed.

Even if the combination has experts from the Engineering and other disciplines, more focus
is given to the engineering part with number of staffs and input of each expects. In addition,
combination is also focused on the traditional and old way of doing the construction
activities. This implies that the staff combination may require additional input and better

Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

engagement of professionals form Safety, Environmental, Social aspects, aesthetic and as


well as consideration of latest technologies of the industry.

The following section more focused on design and supervision projects on which the major
requirement is capacity and competency of professional. Whereas, only the required
professional qualification and adequacy of professional, including succession plan for the
construction professional are discussed and attached under the annex section since
construction works are basically dependent of the capacity and competency of the contractor
rather than the professionals.

3.5. Proposed New Positions

As discussed in the aforesaid section the staff composition of ERA projects has more focus
on the Engineering part with the traditional way of doing the construction business. Through
time, things are in a dynamic situation and the word focus is becoming more on social,
environmental, safety, aesthetic and gender dimensions of projects and as well as
consideration of current technologies.

Accordingly, to respond for the current global concern on project and to fill some
professional gaps on projects, the following new position are recommended to be part of the
project staff combination for design and supervision projects.

Table 1: New Proposed Staff Positions


I.No. Position Project type Remark
1. Traffic Engineer Design and Supervision
2. Architecture Design As required
3. Geologist Design
4. Gender & Youth Officer Supervision
5. Tunnel Engineer Design and Supervision As required
6. Electrical Engineer Design and Supervision As required
7. Mechanical Engineer Design and Supervision As required
8. ITS Expert Design and Supervision As required

Ethiopian Roads Authority 7


Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

Further to consideration of additional professionals, giving sufficient input for the staffs that
are working on social, environmental, safety, aesthetic and gender dimensions of projects is
mandatory to achieve the expected result. Accordingly, the issue of giving reasonable
involvement for such staffs on the project is discussed in the forthcoming section of this
guideline.

4. Succession Plan

Consultancy service basically depends on the qualification of the professionals proposed for
the service as it professional service. Development of professional may be through
progressive stages from lower position to the higher position or by the will of the consultancy
firms to engage graduated professionals from the universities or through some support
program organized by Employers trying to fill the gap of expertise on their projects and as
support of the graduated professional. In the previous time, most of ERA projects were
executed by overseas experts due to lack of sufficient experienced professionals and capable
consulting firms. Through time, ERA thought that unless a senior professional achievement
ladder is developed, no one will come to the key position simply by jumping from the
Junior/Assistance position and this lack of professional experts persist in the country unless a
remedial action is taken by Employers who are suffering from the shortage.

Based on this contemplation, ERA has developed succession plan which assists professional
to come to the key position through a career development or by moving from one key
position to the other. Furthermore, ERA tried to minimize the qualification and adequacy
requirements of professionals for early engagement of professionals on the key positions to
the level without causing serious impact on quality of the expected service. These initiatives
open a level ground for more professionals and today number of senior professionals are
developed through the process.

Even if such efforts have already been done, still there is shortage of professionals in the
sector and there are breaks in the professional development ladder which affects the smooth
career development. Furthermore, some of the ladder requires longer time for professional to
be qualified for the senior position. This reduced the expected level of professional

Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

development and some of the Junior/Assistance or middle level experts are shifting to other
sector rather than waiting longer time to be qualified on for the senior positions.

Accordingly, ERA has revised the existing system to allow smooth career development of
professionals and to creation of job opportunity for graduates and middle level experts
without affecting quality of delivery from the service. The revised secession plan is expected
to respond the following key issues for development of senior experts.

1. Allowing development of professionals from one key senior position to the other
2. Development of key senior professional from junior and assistance positions
3. Introducing new intermediate position in between the senior staff and
junior/assistance staff positions to minimize the extended duration for juniors to
upgrade to a senior position
4. Consideration of new junior position

4.1. Junior staffs

In the previous supervision service Request for Proposals (RFPs) of ERA, the following
junior staffs are considered to be engaged on permanent basis starting from provision of
Permanent Facilities by the Contractor with zero years of experience for development of
staffs and as job opportunity for graduates.

Existing Junior Staff Positions (Permanent)

a. Junior Highway Engineer


b. Junior Materials Engineer
c. Junior Structural Engineer
d. Junior Quantity Surveyor
e. Junior Environmentalist
f. Junior Claims Expert

However, assignment of junior staffs on design projects was disregarded because of the
management issue of engagement of the junior staffs. Now, it is believed that junior staffs are
also required under the design service further to Supervision services to support the career
development and to create job opportunity for new graduates. The good opportunity at this

Ethiopian Roads Authority 9


Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

time is that the Design Directorate in the current ERA structure will monitor deployment of
junior staffs on design projects. As shown above, the junior position is considered only for
limited key experts and shortage of professional on other key position is getting aggravated.
Therefore, additional junior experts for some scarce position and junior staffs for the design
service is approved to be considered in the upcoming projects.

The New Junior Staff Positions are (Permanent)

a. Junior Geotechnical Engineer (To be Merged with the Materials Engineer)


b. Junior Hydraulic Engineer/ Hydrologist
c. Junior Sociologist
d. Junior Transport Economist

Junior staff of design services will be on all the nine junior staff positions parallel to the key
senior positions as required on the design RFP document.

4.2. Provision of Intermediate Positions

Normally junior staffs require longer time to be qualified for the senior passion since
experiences obtained as an Assistant/Junior Engineer related to the respective senior staff
position will be considered as equivalent to 50% of the experience that would have been
obtained working as key personnel in the respective position. This situation discourages
Junior/Assistance staffs and leads them to go for other job opportunities after the Employer
have spent a lot of resources for their development. Therefore, unless a remedy is proposed
for this situation it will be an endless process without achieving the expected outcome in a
reasonable time.

To managing the issue and for smooth and fact career development, Intermediate positions
between the senior and the Junior/Assistance position is introduced for the Junior staff
positions. This option helps junior staffs to move to a better position which is more relevant
to the senior position in a shorter period, gives a chance to be part of the decision making
process and let them to be a well paid staff than the junior position.

Ethiopian Roads Authority 10


Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

The qualification requirement for this intermediate position is four Years of experience as
Junior/Assistant or other positions related to the required Intermediate position.

4.3. Career Development

In addition to the provision of junior, Support/Assistant and Intermediate staff positions for
development of senior experts, there should be a way for development of professionals from
one key position to the other or form the client’s and contractor’s staff to the consultant’s
staff. Such development has already been implemented by ERA for the past years and
appreciated outcome has been recorded. However, the actual situation still shows that further
consideration especially from the Contractor side and the Client side can be adopted to
satisfy the demand of senior expert and career development.

The revised succession plan has been prepared considering satisfaction of the professionals
working under the three parties as shown in the table below.

5. Combination of professionals

For the positions with junior staffs, three deferent level professionals are recommended for
smooth and faster transfer career development and as job opportunity for graduates i.e. Junior
Engineer, Engineer (Intermediate position) and Senior Engineer. However, proposing all the
positions in a single project will cause over utilization of professionals and increase project
overhead. Therefore, the following combination is recommended for the cases where there
are three different levels professional in a single position based on the size of the project.

Note:

 For the material Engineer; the input of senior material Engineer on Big NCB projects will
be intermittent by 65% input and other senior positions input will be as per section 7 of
this guideline.

6. Categorized criteria framework based on Project size and complexity.

As discussed in the aforesaid section, one of the obstacles for engagement of professions on
key position is the expected higher qualification and adequacy criteria. One of the criteria,
the adequacy part has been revised with the provision of succession plan as detailed under
table 2 above. On the other hand it is not reasonable to expect more relaxed criteria which
affect quality of the service delivery rather it is possible to develop different criteria

Ethiopian Roads Authority 24


Engagement and Succession Plan of professionals on consultancy service and Works Contract

frameworks depending on the volume and complexity of the assignment. In this regard, ERA
had developed three criteria frameworks by categorizing projects as “Medium Project”,
“Large Project” and “ICB Projects separately for design and supervision services.

Those criteria has been in use for the last three years and different qualification level
professionals has been assigned based on the volume and complexity of projects instead of
waiting got longer time to be a highly qualified senior expert. In the recent years, based on
the government higher attention to the road sector, huge budget has been allocated for the
road sector and the number of projects procured each year becomes numerous and they are
demanding more key experts to fulfill the increasing demand. Furthermore, due to
depreciation of the Birr value, the previously seated criteria framework may require revision.
Therefore, the criteria frameworks for “Medium/Small Project”, “Large Project” and
“Huge ICB Projects” are revised considering availability of professional and buying
capacity of Birr keeping in mind the quality of service to be delivered.

The criteria frameworks are revised and the following criteria frameworks are developed.

1. Criteria framework for Medium/Small National Competitive Bidding (NCB)


supervision projects
2. Criteria framework for Big NCB supervision projects
3. Criteria framework for Huge International Competitive Bidding (ICB) supervision
projects
4. Criteria framework for Medium/Small NCB Design projects
5. Criteria framework for Big NCB Design projects and
6. Criteria framework for Huge (ICB) Design projects

4. Criteria framework for Medium/Small NCB Design projects <60 km
5. Criteria framework for Big NCB Design projects > 60 km
6. Criteria framework for Huge (ICB) Design projects Any ICB Projects

Exceptions:
 The threshold may be amended depending on the nature of the project or other
considerations with approval of the Contract Award Committee
 Concept design of normal projects will be NCB as Medium/Small NCB or Big
NCB projects depending on the length like the design projects
 Concept designs of expressway and specially complex projects will be ICB

6.1. General Requirements for the senior staff Positions

While defining the frameworks for different value and size of ICB and NCB projects, there
has to be some boundary of hierarchy of requirement that fit for the purpose of professional
development.

The criteria for each staff has two parts i.e. Qualification and adequacy part. The adequacy
part has been revised with the provision of succession plan as detailed under table 2 on
sample Big projects framework and similar it is organized for all the frameworks and
attached under Annex 1. Whereas, the qualification part which comprises of educational
qualification and the general experience need to be further iterated for each framework.
Accordingly the following minimum requirement is set under each category for engagement
of different level professional.

succession plan and attached as Annex 1

The qualification criteria on education and general experiences for the six criteria
frameworks are attached as Annex 2 to this guideline.

7. Man month inputs

Until 2009, there was no system to fix the man month input in a project and it was done by
the Project Engineers to the best of their knowledge. This situation causes overestimation or
less consideration of professional input on projects. The situation was more common in the
case of intermittent staff positions since the Project Engineers are not well aware about the
complicity of the project. While this is coupled with workload limitation of professionals, it
may make some professional over stretched because of under estimated man month input or
limited from being assigned on sufficient projects because of overestimated man month
input. Therefore, while fixing the workload of professionals on projects after 2009, a
standard procedure of input calculation was developed and it is under implementation for
past three years. However, with the current revisions, it is required to revise the man month
input calculation to tally with the other proposals.
The table bellows shoes the calculation of man month input for each professional depending
on the project classification.

8. Workload Limitation

Overstretched professionals are not delivering their assignment with the expected quality
standard. Furthermore, assessments show that if a professional is overstretched with very
high workload:

 Affects development of the professional and they are limited on standard reporting
templates rather than adopting detailed project specific studies
 Affect job distribution and most assignments may be handled by limited staffs
 Reduced quality of deliverable
 The professional couldn’t be available while there are required on projects

Because of the above and other issues, ERA has developed a system to manage workload of
professional as follows:
